This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 March 2018.
All research outputs
#4,534,327
of 25,330,051 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#78,486
of 219,731 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,689
of 169,551 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#831
of 3,731 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,330,051 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 219,731 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 169,551 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3,731 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
